Oil or Spoil? The Middle East Again

The majority of this material was written almost ten years ago. I have updated some parts because of current events. It is a small portion of a booklet I wrote titled “Look Up: Your Redemption Draws Near”. You can find it on my website at (watchman-ga.org). Interestingly this booklet ended up in the hands of … Read More

Who Joins Spiritually Abusive Groups?

The question of who joins high control religious groups seems like it would have a simple answer. It does not. Nor is there a simple answer to how it happens. The starting place should be the question of what disposes a person to spiritual abuse? Why is a person vulnerable? What differences in people make … Read More

The Bodily Resurrection

When we share the Bible with a Jehovah’s Witness, we should emphasize what is most important for them to know. We must let them know that the bodily resurrection is of “FIRST IMPORTANCE.” My recommendation is that we should focus our witness to them on a topic that is essential to the Gospel. It also … Read More

Mormons Welcome Questions

Did you know that Mormons welcome your questions? It is a good, easy way to get them to think for themselves.  Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints [LDS]) believe that they can perform proxy baptisms for the dead to permit the dead to progress in the afterlife. This is the … Read More

A “Loaded” Question for Jehovah’s Witnesses

These sources were sent to me recently and I found them worthy of posting. Did you know that the Watchtower used to teach that Jehovah’s throne … Read More

Who Shuns Whom?

There are varying degrees of shunning, and for varying reasons, but there is one constant: the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Organization, aka the Jehovah’s Witnesses, propagate the practice of shunning among their members, and have for a … Read More

The Man in the Well, How I Got Out, Part 8b

And now for the full conclusion of our series, The Man in the Well, by Oswald Smith: “I am Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son,” was His reply. I fell at His feet and worshiped Him, for my love was such that I could have died for Him. After a while I told Him about … Read More

The Man in the Well, How I Got Out, Part 8a

Beset by many visitors, our guy is more stuck than ever in this well. He has had priests come by, a rabbi, founders of 19th century religions and Eastern thinkers (see links to all at the bottom). He remains discouraged, dumfounded and literally beat up by his own hand. He has been told he must … Read More
